... I ... can you all it's the it's wet but the way hundred million dollars in taxes low on the wall ... right here right now on Digits good afternoon and welcome ... I'm Simon Constable Emily Steel to be the highest of thanks for being an unwitting that Symantec story in one moment that fast Verizon is however the cost of subsidizing the I phone to cost more money ... than they have an answer ... George Stahl tells all about it ... they did with wooden walls ... well the Vatican state it's almost a week it's it's always the week ended the Toronto suburb Resnick also belong to subsidize I ... write write write yet obviously but output has been import prices a lot of business ... but also because the money to get that basis ... although ... in which to go to bed ... in the and rice and does it does make a lot of money from people it caters to get it but that they can put a scare this was coming in case you haven't think of you aam I phone when you buy a two hundred boxes in a lot they pay for Congress to try white and so that's a lot of money for it and I think that that's a benefit that probably was people are aware of that that that of ... the chocolate because that would be subsidized by the carrier with a rich rising eighteen T were spreads ... and Bryson is saying ... you know what a perfect world ... we would have to pay this it doesn't pay to was in subsidies for any other part because they some subsidies on the phone but you see that to look into it that the dollar its not forty dollars so ... that the giver the subsidies that would be great one but it beats that they think they can't is that there's more competition the smartphone space particularly within the third ecosystem ... the Apple I phone and e I O s ... you've got to ... Android ... and Windows can come along and create a third ecosystem ... Cree's spreading the demand for of for smartphones ramp that maybe the Eiffel was the still popular at me to price when the somewhat subsidies ... yet still get new ... smartphone customers ... twenty think your point ... I think and think about this are aiming for a deferral contrived and how anti ... peace the twenty fifth ... of the art that I somehow cheating Outlook and cockpits and ... one day ... that is did the decrease was because the fourth-quarter was so popular he had the new I phone come out in October people been waiting for it has been within the year since the previous two I went to the rich low at CEOs and we were so ... keen on a ... day after the new year ... there was a lil bit of a letdown ... its theory there is something to be said to love it and ... you know ... how much to me this therefore I phone considering how strong the euro and decor for this product ... but I think it's still safe to say that as smartphones go by to remain free up again and it is my popo and what has become very popular ... on Windows Phones Hammond on hand to a time of ... relief ... could stop halfway me a little known as the most from the one yet has not been ... independently totally Lisa one right right and we thought all this is the fact that things like this in the sun but you never ... know ... there have been very spare reiteration played ... with the latest version of Windows media is is the best prospect ... Annie and unit sales have been okay ... with that had been shattered ... as Nokia's results results earlier this week suggest but ... on unit ... ay ay ay ay remains the scene with the with its Kindle can step up its game ... when I came and say we had that ... and that's how ... the ads that say about ninety five employees at Perth that evening I went and spent ... the day I mean it ... to LULU now I need an last-minute farmers in the likeness of this come out ... hard against ... that I'd I can play with the video storytelling isn't why when you when you find something that can affect the type of new competitors on um I guess I was a little time I mean ... and and and a lot of businesses ... so ... I was very upset that a CME Nadia we we use Windows on the computers and sometimes it's a bit frustrating opening of the on site ... out of that ... on the phone and I'm I'm on one bet ... there are also going into a consumer market with this which is pretty different from the traditional businesses which is business to business ... the difference I know proposition yet ... for a bit and if ever there was no success but that the unit is um the Xbox deftly has been ... a key successful Micra soft and extended connecting with consumers ... however I should mention too and some of their music players have been at the same success so ... so Microsoft has a mixed track record and say it won the game's line is a bit of an addiction time yes ... yes I spliced be passed out there ... it ... was ... ok you're on the top of the much George Stahl all the Wall Street tunnel well Neil is selling ... its rent for three hundred million dollars in taxes will have more mass ... at the right to ... what the what the kids to add WS J live well just wanted runs and taking off in the U S and some of this great back ... from Afghanistan will get to that but for us ... knew the savings rate of tax and the spends on say on the site is can tells all about business three hundred million pounds ... three million dollars in ... unpaid on ... this ... yes it is odd to get sudden changes Buster for company looks for Bush's haven't done it you know ... challenges generating cash flow ... cited operations I mean this is a respectable company and its big county to have a long and in some systems what happened to this this is ... a mean is the obvious so this mix the trade show is alleging ... that Sprint is underpaid sell stocks is under monthly wireless cell phone bill ... the crux of the issue is that ... the attorney general is saying that ... he should be tied to an entire wall ... that ... spread this angel levy tax on coal to retain and and in this in your ... body so people outside the city or can you make phone calls ... should be taxed ... by the synagogue on those phone calls ... so it's cold and one when its own two thousand and five straight days we've begun unbudged Linda Bolton ... charging for continue to do all breaking about ... it so that's really what the argument is over ... and ... I ... mean and I am I ... painting I Can and an Indian meal I ate that kind of like a scene in each state has different laws don't sell Sox's so I care ... I don't want to speculate about what other states my head ... but the new state law ... he is basically saying that we should be charged for the whole bill ... and ... there's no ... there's going to be ... you know that ... according to this of warning that the State Department of taxation in backing up this idea that the charge the whole bill ... aam we've really only so they ... they underpin a hundred billion dollars but the law says you can get into trouble damages the public that the three have been offered more than its money in these times of the names of billions of dollars three hundred million ... it's a lot of money doesn't seem that much though I become do it right in your state ... so come on Sundays when this new study casting for a quarter of the story but we all but added ... that new steps to prevent money spent by the tax laws but that that he did so deliberately and with full knowledge that is why any of the high standard for yup yup don't have basically knowledge ... of the claim that there is internal emails smoking guns would show that Sprint knew was violating the law ... and they decided to proceed anyway ... so that'll be interested how the kids back on the court ... read on how the but you're still lot of it in recession a soft economy ... states are budgets are are are hemorrhaging money ... did I have to see this and that's the context of the state's bubbly ... lookin' at told reporters that to drum up some more revenue ... this might be one of them it seems like New York ... one is sort of on this generic side ... just a pre summit to review this but ... to no good and we also understand from the story that spring summer and taxes is growing by about two hundred and ten thousand dollars a week so that when he beat me into ... it so I'm leading the new Inspiron from ... the map that if he knows that now you know what it meant that when ... one reads we have to pay this really go back to Apple people have this result ... is that it's ... a good point I had to get that applicants aiming to good point I mean it doesn't with ... stitcher Jol has not trust that ... the money though the one obvious thing to say with ... this friend does have to pay this money that they've been under charging their customers sell stocks what would that mean the thing is that a man named there's trouble in the last thing broadband is right now to ... because the firms that ... wishes to all what's more money for something that we've heard awful at keeping an eye ... if if it does go against an opponent played the title ... they were to ... go I was glad that I had much spends on say all of the Wall Street tunnel ... well now it is slashing prices on its Lumia phone but when will it be worth it man which is price without a ... break ... with back with more Digits aunt WS J live I'm Simon Constable ... won't knock it is slashing prices on its Lumia from the big question is is what you would be even at that reduced price with any get to my mom went ... with us ... realism taking hold in the U S and some of them ... I just back from Afghanistan ... we are Jennifer Valentino DeVries tells all about this ... very exciting thank you very much for being a mom comes ... to drugs which we not wanting gadgets yes I mean pretty ... common that many reasons ... for the various months' you the kind of Josie's think about when you see the ... wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ... I'm at and with ... you ... over the past few years ... and he's been able to apply for ... permits to fly Germans in certain areas where restrictions ... on flying them anywhere because of the fee commercial air traffic ... and can presents ... a problem this could be deemed a situation band ... and advocacy group called the electronic Frontier Foundation who use their freedom of information Act request and spent a ... how many of these permits were out there who either ... abandoned the really interesting thing was that ... a lot of their places requesting these were colleges and universities and local police departments not just here that the high end ... of my insecurity it was so honored if you like ... eating enough right so ... you know some of the people we spoke with universities they're using them for research and for the most part ... and both in Aeronautics as well as he can use Eastern's to fire rounds and agricultural area and and and serving plate and I and and things like that ... um ... local police departments are using them for surveillance and security and the ... new drug enforcement Sts ... I think that meets or some other places that ... had ... not been able to actually implement use of Eastern fiercer to test the naming deals that they still happen ... I ... the issue I mean these things out ... the primary issue you and pray ... you don't necessarily want to fly the zipper had ... populated ... area command ... because if there is there a name and so even if you can control them remotely ... it presents and dangers and it's really interesting because the FAA right now ... is under pressure from the governments and business is to integrate drones IRA interior traffic around the US is actually going to be testing in six different cities ... I'm ... integrating I mean it means with every key Larry airspeed for how I how they can be damned if I walk in and see them again in the one lying around that that ... I think a lot of them ... he learned ... he said that the ... full size ... screens with ... some of them are really tiny ... and so ... I think it gets ... to be interesting to see how this can save you read this and privacy concerns ... because a lot of these ... I ... can have ... trafficker surveillance equipment on and so that's I'm there couple of Representatives asking questions about that no one saw ... coming from Afghanistan ... aam they had some some on hand to the ability to watch this I'll all ... off and presumably you know the lead after only one so that when a band and meats aisles flying out ... to be likeable ran this trip was offline can have on the nannies ... and surveillance thousand concrete higher Friday with the loose with their applications that require them to have ... with me on them ... will be ... the bread is not yet know he's actually reading and thinking about what could be on the eastern think it's mostly just ... think he and Sydney ... we think that Ashley ... crops of buyouts will be very good job having to look for the U S online posted on having a look and ... those that when the things they use a partner at Poulter has germs and and ... Azman things this amid the schools are using them for their ... and ... our culture ... and were forged ties ... the nice things with the flight point love them why they send out because the the the the the the the way to control them actually in encrusted with all this war planes ... what if I think there's a concern about that because obviously helicopters and planes that simply ... narrow passed away and so at some point ... at ... it could be concerns about them flying in the same airspace in in your city is the helicopters flying around for while ... on ... leave ... from around that that would do ... I I I meant that they say that helicopter is at ... the Cato in the onthe and when I go ... on when the sun sky trade might seem low but had the walls up so ... I'm pretty high as I mean they had legitimate these are pretty that they can fly ... so yesterday I like toys as well the SCC kids and in my detected that runs likeable helicopter you whining about new top of things racing scene I wanted to know when a man sourcing people flying around the office ... I think the need for me for that that's not with the FAA is dealing with those are just remote control you're looking at the ... treatment even more ... I'm the and from the defense and the ... things that might be of ... more concern to the child's schooling intent is to ... ensure money Chelsea Clinton won by one Despite hundred and ninety nine degrees check that story on the beest dot com its homepage ... right now ... well at Nokia is slashing prices on its Lumia phone but what do they even at reduced price to go when the trial joining us on the set now ... we hope to meet Dummies rhyming is wanting quickly areas ... of the team and ... I'm ... like a Herman forthing and back with the identity can e mail I have stated I think I think that was that moment that that that lots of tummy time you've written for small money ... I ... think ... it's a ... question really is the isthe Lumia phones slashed and price ... how Low ... insanity ... but is akin to be once it's of ... some of the new ... crop of ... that ... the most things in it as a way to the ... bursting of the presumably due to vote for if euro is ... using a smartphone and to what you learned this ... song who want to snap pics of the smartphone like I sometimes sit in her life ... there is a really huge I needed any office ... oh dear I'm ... in the park are African land mines in the coffee shop ... aam ... it depends what you want to put a fourteen year really look at the difference between God and you havent seen like surprising speed and ... that there is ... demand out there available ... one of the ... two samples to get one is ... HP when it disbanded its TouchPad last year when stock and seventy five percent yield on the look of the most important among Muslims prayed around the said well if you buy HP or stick with what I've ... asked which is kind of day in ... an ecosystem that is not awful signed last snow ... um ... and he has a ... tiny system ...
